Nothing we didn't expect. He's injury prone. He's also a top 2 big man when healthy. Like hydro said, gotta ride him out, and what happens, happens.

Also as far as us as a playoff team without him, honestly I don't see it. Never did this season because sans Bynum our big man rotation is Thad Young, Spencer Hawes, and Lavoy Allen. Quite possibly a bottom 5 rotation for starting bigs. And our guard play isn't great enough to overcome a bottom 5 big man rotation like that. I would love to be proven wrong

Well, our first round pick is lottery protected, so assuming we sign Bynum, having a lottery pick + an improved jrue + bynum wouldn't be bad.

Honestly though, if you have any semblance of talent and play hard every night, you might be able to make the playoffs as a bottom feeder. Not saying that is the ideal, but its possible.

I want to see 20 games played before I make any judgments about this team. Obviously losing Iggy and not having Bynum hurts.

Good question.
-Yeah, MJ's year "off".
-Worthy being hurt during the Sixers run?
-The Celtics in the late 80's vs the Lakers: McHale on a broken foot; Parish, DJ and Ainge on sprained ankles; and Bill Walton with bad feet.
-Frickin' Bynum 2-3 years ago

Not sure how relevent those other guys are.... As none of them were franchise players... Great players on great teams, yes.
